It’s time to dust off those air guitars and warm up your vocal cords (just say “Foo Fighters” five times fast), because one of the most legendary rock bands is heading Down Under in 2026. On Monday, news began circulating that the Foo Fighters were about to announce the Australian leg of their Take Cover world tour. Frontier Touring planted the initial seeds, sharing an image of a billboard with the band’s logo atop The Winston pub in Hobart on social media. The caption included a link (frontiertouring.com/ff) teasing: “Big news incoming,” with a countdown ending at 6am AEDT on Wednesday, December 3.
Today, the news has finally been confirmed, but there’s only one chance to see them in Tasmania. It'll be the Foo Fighters' first live show in Tassie since 2015, their first ever time in Launceston and their first Aussie tour with drummer Ilan Rubin (formerly of Nine Inch Nails). Here's everything you need to know about getting tickets.
When are the Foo Fighters coming to Australia?
The Foo Fighters are performing a one-off show at the University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston on Saturday, January 24. The choice of location won’t go unnoticed by locals, as the Apple Isle was skipped on the Foo Fighters’ last Australian tour. No other Australian dates have been announced.

The Launceston gig will feature Brisbane rockers The Full Flower Moon Band and Tasmanian psych-rock trio Spooky Eyes.
